MEZA-MAURICIO, Edwin J.; LECCA-ROJAS, María Pía; CORREA-QUISPILAYA, Emil  and  RIOS-VILLASIS, Katty. Platelet-rich fibrin and its application in periodontics: a review of literature. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2014, vol.24, n.4, pp.287-293. ISSN 1019-4355.

Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a second generation platelet concentrate that delivers, to the clot or membrane, a high concentration of growth factors, leucocytes and cytokines that are obtained through a centrifugation from an autogenous blood sample. The easy preparation and manipulation, in comparison with other platelet preparations, allows using it in the daily clinical practice. This literature review aims to describe the biological properties and the clinical applications of the PRF in muco-gingival surgical procedures and in the maxillary sinus elevation surgery.

Keywords : Fibrin; gingival recession; maxillary sinus.
